Epidemiologists use various methods to measure and assess tissue damage:
1. Clinical Assessments: Physical examinations and patient history are primary tools in identifying tissue damage. 2. Imaging Techniques: X-rays, MRI, and CT scans help visualize internal tissue damage. 3. Biomarkers: Levels of specific proteins, enzymes, or other molecules in blood or tissues can indicate tissue damage. 4. Histopathology: Microscopic examination of tissue samples can reveal cellular and structural damage.
